It's a pity the background music is mixed so high, drowning out & distracting the narration ... 🇬🇧

My choice is the Oyster it’s a great boat for just about anything. Although I prefer the Oyster 565 only because of its space. I sail a 2015 Hanse 505, it’s been a very comfortable and capable boat. Been to Hawaii, Alaska and to Costa Rica all places many times in the last 10 years. Thanks for the info, happy sailing.

Most of the boats you picked are mediterranne type open to weather condition steering boats. These are comfortable on med with warm and mild air conditions... On the opposite all through the world the weather and sea conditions are not so mild... Without a closed captain cabin all trough the world is a harsh story.

Kraken 50 outshines all of these 6. Exposed rudders in ocean cruisers is a risk not worth taking! For these prices, having a double unprotected rudder is like throwing good money after bad.

What a boat, Rustler and island packet ❤🎉real cruiser boats al your ship's are good in a harbor save en dry😂

[tazionuvolari]

Not a completely fair comparison - the Amel 60 is a big step in size. For me, it's a choice between the HR 50 and a Kraken 50 (not even in the video). Similarly priced and both suited to global blue water ventures.

I really think going off shore in a boat with twin unprotected spade rudders is a bad idea . Its just a risk that you don't have to take . Not crazy about bolt on keels either. Also im a little tired of only seeing the interiors of boats. whats beneath the water line and its construction is truly what makes a bluewater boat.

The Dufour seems the best bang for dollars.

The only 3 8:46 boats I would be on during ocean crossings would be the Amel the Rassy the oyster the others would be a nightmare at least in the front cabins the bow was way to shallow

[jay_leng]

Just wondering where the Dutch aluminium monohulls should be classified. They are pretty capable boats for everything.

[rebelwolves]

For world cruising.. a couple of these are good.. but some of them are questionable.. Remember when sailing around the world, its not a matter of 'if' you get caught in a storm. Its a matter of 'when' you get caught in a storm.
I can only imagine sitting at twin rears in 2 or 3 meter seas.
Why is the Kraken 50 not on this list? To my knowledge, Krakens are literally the only boat built today that is designed specifically for world cruising.

[captainron]

The only 2 boat on the list I would sail offshore would be the Oyster and the Amel. All the others would pound through the seas with those shallow bows

[GrooveColo]

Seascape windows of an Oyster and aft owner cabin. So sweet!

[jjfreyss]

Not including a Kraken sailboat in this list is ridiculous. They are probably the safest ocean crossing luxury boat out there

[docproc]

Kraken? How you can miss Kraken Yachts from a list of best blue water boats is concerning.

[jimjg]

What about Ocean star 51.2 or 56? Any opinions?

[cristina-lwjh]

I prefer a Kraken 50, but they are all too expensive for my budget. So I would stick with the cheapest second hand one...

THIS VIDEO IS MADE FOR RICH YANKEES, I GOT A KAYAK . GREAT VIDEO . SALUDOS

[richardhaendel]

None of these boats are suirable for high latitude sailing. No heaters are visible and its not fun being outside when the temp is -15C 25 knots of wind and its snowing.. Where is the inside helm station?

[yoryteperman]

The vid should have been named - top 6 ... boats YOU were aware of, as there are so many superior blue watee boats out there in these lengths that frankly every and each one of these can be replaced with a better boat... These are more common, more WV-gens of boating, not customs or even semi-customs... Cheers!
